Bachelor of Engineering - Bachelor of Arts
The School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering,
in conjunction with the Faculty of Arts, offers a double degree
course leading to the Bachelor of Engineering - Bachelor of Arts
in each of the following major study areas:.
The program, which may be completed in five years of full-time
study, offers the opportunity for students to include additional
arts subjects with their studies in computer, electrical or telecommunications
engineering. It is likely to be of particular interest to those
students who wish to undertake a career in research. The BE degree
with Honours is awarded for meritorious performance over the course
and particularly in the final year thesis subject. The classes of
honours awarded are defined in the Course Rules.
With the approval of the Head of the School of Electrical, Computer
and Telecommunications Engineering and the Sub-Dean of the Faculty
of Arts, students who have completed the recommended first year
program of the Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering or
Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering) course
and who have gained a weighted average mark of 67.5% or better may
transfer to the BE,BA. It is a requirement of the BE,BA that all
students enrolled maintain this level of achievement throughout
the course or they will be transferred to the BE Course.
All BE,BA students must sit for and perform satisfactorily in an
English Literacy Test organised by the School in association with
the Student Learning Development Centre. The test will be held during
the first session of a student's enrolment at the University. It
is a requirement of the BE degree that the student perform satisfactorily
in at least one such test prior to enrolment in ECTE457 Thesis.
Students who are deemed to require tuition in literacy in order
to complete this requirement will be advised accordingly and will
be required to repeat the literacy test the following year. Enrolment
in and attendance at literacy courses will be the individual responsibility
of the students concerned.
As indicated in the individual subject pre-requisites, students
are required to complete satisfactorily the recommended first year
before beginning the recommended third year and to complete satisfactorily
the recommended second year before beginning the recommended fifth
year. With the approval of the Head of the School of Electrical,
Computer and Telecommunications Engineering, these requirements
may be waived.
Note: Normally a double degree program requires students
to complete 264 credit points, in some cases, however, depending
upon the program of study chosen this number may be exceeded.
Generally, there is a minimum requirement of 72 credit points in
subjects from the Arts Schedule for the BA. In most cases, however,
students should expect to be required to take up to 90 credit points
from the Arts Schedule.
The choice of Arts subjects will be constrained by the requirements
for a BA degree as set out in the Course Rules and is subject to
the approval of the Head of the School of Electrical, Computer and
Telecommunications Engineering and the Sub-Dean of the Faculty of
Arts.
Professional Experience
All BE,BA students must accumulate at least 12 weeks of approved
professional engineering experience, documented in the form of employment
reports and preferably in the period between fourth and fifth years.
